It might be a Noreaster!

For those who are not familiar with the winters in the Northeast, the term Noreaster is probably not understood. The net of a Noreaster for us in Rochester is that it can, I repeat can, create a great deal of snow. Most of the big storms that I have been in here (big being 2-4 feet in a couple of days) are results of a Noreaster. Well, I decided this year to document the event on the blog. I will provide updates (with pics) a couple of times a day over the weekend.

Let me set you all up with what we are hearing. We have just been put under a Winter Storm Warning (we were under a Watch) from tomorrow night around 10pm to Monday morning. Right now they are saying we will get between 1 & 2 feet of snow during that period, we are in the 2 feet area. It is great to watch our weather folks, they do not get excited about a great deal when it comes to winter weather, these are different though.

We have had snow on the ground since Thanksgiving, in fact we had about 7 inches yesterday. It has also been cold and it would seem that it is going to drop tomorrow. If there is wind, we could get more snow with lake enhancement. All in all it is an exciting time.

The stores were starting to get packed, folks are storing up. I think we are all excited because it is on a Sunday which is a day of rest anyway. Not leaving the house just allows us to watch football.

Linda and I went and picked Jen up today from Syracuse, she is home for Christmas break. Kathryn has final starting Sunday night. Monday might be tricky, just depends on how long it last.

Well, at this point, it is cold and a little cloudy, maybe an inch or so of snow tonight. We are off to a party and Jen is off with friends.

I will report often and update with pics as things develop.

Later
